The definitive account of secret societies -- their reasons for being, initiations, ceremonies, codes, and customs. Without any question one of the most thorough collections of Secret Societies ever compiled. Within its pages, you will find just about every known secretive organization ever to exist and then some. With Secret societies from the US, Japan, Germany, Egypt, Greece, Ancient India, The Orient, and so much more. This set is in stunning condition and includes the original publisher's hard case, "not in the photos." I own many books on Secret Societies that date back centuries, and this is one of the most in-depth guides ever written. Two different versions of this set were created, one with red covers and the other with black. The black edition is much harder to find than the red. I would snag this set before someone else does.

Charles William Heckethorn (1829 – 13 January 1902) was a Swiss-born, naturalized British author best known for his history of secret societies, which was produced in two editions, and his works relating to the history of London.
